E-Commerce Web Hosting Glossary of Terms – W

• WHM/cPanel

  A comprehensive web interface that can be used to help manage your site, backups, email accounts, statistics, installations and much more.

  Note: A majority of our clients never use the interface as we are happy to do most everything for them--but it's there if you want it!

• WordPress Experts!

  We've built WordPress sites since 2005! Before that, we were building sites completely from scratch. Along the way we've built all kinds of sites and we generally focus on data intensive small businesses and non-profits. Today we build and host sites for hundreds of clients. To meet their needs, we've engineered our own server configurations that closely address the challenges that we've met, head-on!

• WordPress Installations

  You can have a fixed number of maintained WordPress installations, based on the plan, and not including any non-public facing staging and development installations--which are free--and a fixed number of domains pointing to any of these installations.

  Note: Additional installations are $7.95/month.

• WordPress Multisite

  You can have a fixed number of maintained WordPress Multisites with a fixed number of total Domains/Sites.

  Note: Each additional Domain/Site/WordPress installation costs $7.95/mo.

• WordPress White Screen of Death

  A common reference to a blank screen with no information at all which most often happens as a result of upgrading or building a website with database or PHP errors. It can happen site wide, only on certain pages or only if a certain action is taken. If nobody is paying attention the issue can go on for days until a shopkeeper notices the dip in sales.

  To catch this issue, it's important for an administrator to understand all of the updates in context which lends queues as to which features need to be tested for this and other errors. Additionally, themes and plugins need to have an active support channel with a developer in attendance so that these issues can be caught and quickly fixed.

  Note: Both our Extended Plugin Support and Advanced Plugin Support plans, test for this condition while our Basic Support, included with all plans, will only notice this if it is site wide and then possibly only during the daily site check.

• WP-CLI

  All accounts support the WordPress Command-Line Interface which allows developers to update plugins and themes, configure Multisite installations and more via an SSH (Secure Shell) connection.

  Note: Key authentication is required (ask us how).

• WP WSoD
